Attack of the Anniverserowsdower
The Lead-Up All I have to say is to those that say the “game is dead”… they need to take a new look. There were multiple instances of Thayd at one point. I had to /join on Chaide and then Sync to Group so that I could be in the same version of Thayd he was. The Announcement To Coldwater Gulch! (aka The Taxi Train) Yep. The taxi train. There were so many people, it was so neat to see everyone! The Anniverserowsdower So, apparently if you clicked on the Rowsdower, you got turned into one, and could mount up and such as a Rowsdower. Which looked really cool. Sadly,…

Of Skeech and Jabbits
Skeech Shaman Last night was a fairly chill night in WildStar. I worked on some guild management stuff, and then helped out some guildies with attunement by running a Vet Siege of Tempest Refuge and a Vet War of the Wilds. A Skeech Shaman happened to drop in the WotW run, and I won the greed roll! Lookit him! Isn’t he so cute! I mean, as cute as a Skeech can be, anyway. Plus, he’s just as tall as my Aurin. Strain-Corrupted Jabbit I also ended up procuring a Strain-Corrupted Jabbit from the guild bank. While I was dropping dyes that were repeats into the bank, I saw a Jabbit…

NBI 2015 Safari: Wrap-Up
For those that didn’t know, Murf ran a month-long contest called the NBI 2015 Safari to help get us newbie bloggers some prompts and ideas to spring board. In his most recent post, he announces the winners of the Safari! All in all, all of the entries were magnificent, so be sure to check them all out, and not just the Winners. 🙂 Who knows, you may find another blog for your blog roll or feedreader! As a writing prompt, Murf suggested we revisit our posts: If you won, please consider reposting your screenshot with a link back this this post. It’ll be an awesome way to show off and…

Gaming Goals: June
WildStar Gaming yesterday was a bit lacking. I did log into WildStar, but I mainly started taking care of some guild-management stuff for when we go F2P. A lot of combing the roster, seeing if folks have applied to our site, yada yada. I also put together Episode 5 of Yardcore Nexus, which takes some time. And it doesn’t always cooperate with the game, either, so at one point I had to sit and watch Netflix while my video rendered. I think that’s a sign I need an upgrade to my computer? But I’m not sure what to upgrade. Besides, we don’t have the extra cash for it right now,…

The Weekend Report
I seem to post less on the weekends. I’d love to try to post more on the weekends. In fact, I’d love to try to start posting daily. See if I can get to it before Blaugust hits! Boss Train, Woop Woop! Saturday I hopped into WildStar for an officer meeting, and then a scheduled Rose Bowl event! Not only did we do Rose Bowl, however, we started a World Boss Train. It was a lot of fun! I even got to do R12 for the first time! I’d love to do both again! We actually downed King Honeygrave!! He’s an extremely buggy boss (no pun intended) and can reset…

Haukke Manor
Opportunity I haven’t been online/gaming much the past week and half, really. I had an opportunity for a new position with the company I interned with fall into my lap, and had to complete a project as a part of the interview process. I’m excited to see if I progress to the next step. I know I have cheerleaders in my corner there, so I’m leaning towards the positive. Cake or Death Last night was my first night back in-game since, well, Memorial Day, really. So almost two weeks. Good grief. Anyways. The last time Chaide and I played FFXIV, we had gotten the quest to unlock Haukke Manor, but…

One Year of WildStar
Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of the official release of WildStar. One of my guildies posed a question on the guild forums, asking: What’s the most memorable experience you’ve had in Wildstar? Regardless of if you’ve been here since the start of beta or just a couple weeks. I think this is a fabulous question, and I hope that many other folks that play WildStar decide to answer it. From the official WildStar page. For me, one of the most memorable experiences has been just having a way to happily spend my time with new friends, and old ones. We brought some friends over, and some stayed, and others…

Pretty in Pink
Not too long ago, I talked about housing being one of the most robust features in WildStar. Well, I neglected to talk about the costuming system as well, especially after the Holo-Wardrobe addition in the latest drop (Drop 5). While I love the things people do with their costumes, I’ve never been good at putting them together. I pretty much run with one costume that’s my main, and a few I kind of switch out, but those other than my main took forever to put together. And my main costume? I’ve had it since, oh, level 14. Yep. It hasn’t been changed since the first few months of the game.…

Me the Gamer, and Gamer Sins
So, I haven’t been very good at keeping up with the NBI Writing Prompts that have gone down. I caught the first and second prompts but didn’t really have much to say on them. For the first one, I really didn’t want to get into GamerGate, so promptly avoided the prompt (sorry, Izlain!), and the Kickstarter one was a great topic… except I’ve only ever backed one Kickstarter in my whole life, and it was just recently for some dice. But I do want to try to cover the other two topics (timeliness… I know. I’m hoping Blaugust will help with that!), because they’re pretty awesome, so here goes! What…
